Can a screen outside a meeting room show the day's bookings?

Yes. A zone can show a webpage, so a published calendar view for that room appears on the screen and follows the bookings. Or build a slide per event and schedule each by date and time.

How do we greet a group that's arriving today?

Make a welcome slide for the group, add it to the lobby playlist with a start and end date, and it shows during their stay and disappears at checkout. Takes a couple of minutes at the front desk.

Can we manage several properties from one account?

Yes. Group screens by property, push brand-wide content to every group at once, and let each property keep its own hours, menus and events.

Can guests see the screens in rooms?

CastWize is for the hotel's own screens: lobby, lift lobbies, restaurant, meeting rooms and the bar. It runs on any TV with an HDMI input and a small player.

What if the lobby screen goes offline during the night?

It keeps playing from its cache. The dashboard shows it as offline, and an alert by email, Slack or webhook can tell the night manager.

Do we need to buy specific hardware?

No. An Android TV box, a Raspberry Pi or a spare computer runs the free CastWize player. Most hotels start with the lobby TV they already have.

What does it cost for a 40-room hotel with six screens?

$30 a month: $5 per screen, all features included, no contract. The first screen is free for 30 days, with no credit card required.

Solutions

Digital signage for hotels and hospitality.

Welcome screens, event boards and amenity hours that follow the day and the guest list.

What digital signage does for hotels

A welcome screen that changes with the guest list

Greet an arriving conference group or wedding party by name in the lobby, and swap it out when they check out.

Hours and offers by time of day

Show breakfast service in the morning, the bar in the evening, and the spa or pool hours all day: scheduled once, no manual switching.

Wayfinding to events and amenities

Point guests to the right ballroom, meeting room, or restaurant, and update it the moment an event moves.

Consistent across every property

Group screens by property and push brand-wide messaging to all of them, or target one hotel specifically.

Built for hotels of every kind

One screen or fifty, one site or many. The same account, layouts and schedules work for:

Serviced apartments
Bed and breakfasts
Event venues
Hotel groups with several properties

What hotels actually put on screen

Lobby welcome and announcements: Today's events, a welcome for the group checking in, and the weather, on the screen behind reception.
Event and meeting-room boards: A screen outside each room with what's on now and next. Move an event, and the board updates itself.
Restaurant, bar and spa hours: Breakfast times, happy hour, the pool schedule, in a zone that switches with the time of day.
Digital menu boards: The breakfast buffet, the bar list and the room-service specials, with prices you can change in a minute.
Local area and transport: Things to do nearby, the airport shuttle times and a live webpage for departures, in the lobby and by the lifts.
Promotions and upsells: Late checkout, the spa package, tonight's dinner deal: shown in the lift lobby and the bar, not left on a flyer.

A typical day, scheduled once

Schedule rules run by day of week and time of day. Set them once and the screens switch on their own; nobody touches a remote.

06:00 – 11:00
Breakfast hours and menu in the lobby and lift lobbies; today's events board by reception.
11:00 – 18:00
Pool, spa and local-area information; meeting-room boards follow the day's bookings.
18:00 – late
Bar and dinner specials, happy hour, and tomorrow's checkout and breakfast times.

How it works

Pair the TV

Install the free CastWize player on an Android TV, a Windows, Mac or Linux computer, or a Raspberry Pi connected to the TV. It shows a pairing code; enter it in Studio and the screen is online.

Build the content

Upload images and video, or build a slide on the canvas with text, webpages, live streams and widgets. Multi-zone layouts put a menu, a promo and a ticker on one screen.

Schedule and forget

Add slides to playlists, set day and time rules, group screens by location. Preview, publish, and every screen on that playlist updates within seconds.

Runs on the TVs you already have

There is no CastWize box to buy. Any TV with an HDMI input works, driven by a player you probably already own:

Android TV or an Android box: the cheapest route for a wall-mounted TV; plugs into HDMI.
Raspberry Pi 4 or 5: small, silent, low power, fine for a menu board that runs all day.
Windows, macOS or Linux: an old laptop or mini PC behind the TV becomes a player.
Keeps playing offline: the player caches its content, so a Wi-Fi blip doesn't blank the screen.
